Cheddleton sits in the heart of the Staffordshire Moorlands, Staffordshire, England, set against the rolling, agricultural landscape of the Churnet Valley and straddling the historic Caldon Canal. Its position between market towns such as Leek and the industrial conurbation of Stoke-on-Trent gives it a mix of rural character and commuter links, with plenty of walking country and waterways that attract leisure boaters and walkers alike.
The village has a strong sense of local history and community: notable surviving sites include the preserved Cheddleton Flint Mill on the canal and the restored Cheddleton station used by the Churnet Valley Railway, alongside an old parish church and the timbered Cheddleton Hall. Economically it remains rooted in farming and small local businesses, while cultural life leans on village clubs, heritage tourism and events that celebrate its industrial and rural past.
